inner healing
I have learned so much through this whole year of the Encounter School of Ministry! It did take growing in my relationship with God and hearing His voice to be able to pursue more inner healing for myself. I believe that inner healing requires a deep faith and trust in God‘s love and power to heal. I also know that for me it was so helpful to have developed close relationships in Christ with the women in my small group during the Encounter zoom meetings.

prophecy
The “Hearing God and Prophetic Gifts” launched my role as a confessor into a new level of being able to hear the Father’s voice speaking to the heart of His child as they confessed their sins. I have had images during confession in the past but none as powerfully healing as they have been since this lesson and the practicum that came with it. On occasion, once shared with the penitent, the images speak right to the root cause of their sin and opened up avenues for a deeper and more thorough healing of their soul.

healing
My husband and I went to the hospital to pray with friends of a family member. He has brain cancer and has been struggling for two years with chemo treatment. He was slumped over and couldn’t move his right side and bothered by a rash . After praying with him and sharing God’s enormous love and mercy for him, he was able to stand up. The next day we received this message from his wife:
“Paul as had an amazing day of progress… and walked with the therapist and went up one step.. he is standing on his own and using the regular bathroom. He has absolutely no itching/ rash. First time in two months.”

The Construction of My Kingdom Dream
This quarter was full of practical ways to grow spiritually. I learned that God gave me a dream for His Kingdom. I have a better understanding of how to bring together all that God has for us to see our Kingdom Dream become a reality and be fruitful for His Kingdom....
The Reason I Entered Encounter School
The reason I entered Encounter School two years ago is that I had not been well. Since the age of 13, I lived in a dark world of suicide, anger, depression, and severe anxiety. Forty years of professional help and medication was not enough to remove this burden. I was...
Jesus at the Bar
I met with a guy named "J" at a bar in Lafayette for lunch. I didn't know him at all, but his old campus minister told him to text me and meet up. We did and the conversation started about his bible study, but it was very surface level. We moved into me talking to him...
Prophetic Gifts in the Confessional
The "Hearing God and Prophetic Gifts" launched my role as a confessor into a new level of being able to hear the Father's voice speaking to the heart of His child as they confessed their sins. I have had images during confession in the past but none as powerfully...
Answers and encouragement!
I have had very lucid prophetic dreams and unexplainable "coincidences" throughout my life and few people to talk to about them. I have heard, felt seen and known things but was very careful who I shared things with so as not to be judged. The church is where I felt...
DREAMING THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAMS!
What in the past - and before I realized Kingdom Dreams and Supernatural Service - I felt impossible, is now taking root in the possible! I've been praying passionately for a healing of my brother's dementia. Since I've begun dreaming the possibility, I've noticed...
A Stepping Stone!
This quarter was like a stepping stone in progressing in hearing the Holy Spirit and feeling Him more and more in my heart, my mind, my whole being. It's a wonderful sensation where you feel transported and seated next to the Father in this beautiful place he prepared...
Delight in Jesus
This quarter helped me to grow more deeply in my identity as a child of God, to listen with all delight and expectation to Jesus in prayer and adoration, and to give my fears to God of approaching unknown and known individuals with words and prophecies. I have...
Healing At the Deli!
I went to the grocery store to order a cake for my wife’s birthday. The young lady working at the deli was limping badly. I asked if she would like prayer for healing. She said "yes" and I prayed for her in the name of Jesus. She claimed she felt better but she was...
Ministering to Others
A first-quarter activation was to think of our neighbors and write names down as they came to mind. The Lord reminded me of people I haven't seen in a while and I contacted a lady that had abruptly loss her husband to cancer 6 weeks earlier. I was able to bring her...
How to be a Catholic Evangelist
Quarter 5 has taught me how to be a Catholic evangelist. Growing up, I felt that faith and belief were private things and that it is impolite/pushy to inquire/challenge people about their beliefs. ESM has helped me reframe that and accept, on a deeper level, the call...
Holy Spirit is Alive in ME
After coming off quarter one, where I have learned of, and now feel grounded in my identity as a daughter of the True King, my heavenly Father, Papa!, I have now been embracing the Anointing of my Baptism... Priest, prophet, and king. In this second quarter on...
BACK!
As the first quarter began I was suffering from back pain, which became worse when sitting. Driving to Brighton from Grand Rapids for class and then back home again meant approximately 7-8 hours of sitting. I would lay down in the very back seat of the car to and from...
Bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth
Learning in a new way that healing is God’s work and doesn’t depend on me has given me great freedom to speak the good news in boldness and confidence. Upon returning from the Encounter Conference, my husband and I went to the hospital to pray with friends of a family...
Listen to the Father and Look with Him.
I think I have a control issue rooted deeply, which comes with not trusting the Father and being worried about myself all the time especially in prayer ministry. Something I’ve learned is His great love for me and that he wants me to love with his heart not my own. So...
